with all the attendant rain, storm, heat and cold,
and have never needed repairs. They're as good
as the day they were put on. Is that the kind
of roof you're looking for? A roof, the cost of
which is practically all in the first item, and that
item surprisingly small in comparison with roof
value as established by other building coverings.
There's nothing temporary about CORTRIGHT. It's made to last and

Introductory
It is \yith a pride that is pardonable that the managemeut of the Great
North Carolina State Fair points to its record of things achieved and suc-cesses
scored as the years roll around.
The official report of the State Fair of 1912 shows a condition of its affairs
that justifies any pride the people may feel in this honored and useful insti-tution.
Among permanent improvements in 1911. the Poultry Building was reported
fully paid for and easily the best of its kind on any Southern fair grounds.
Designed to harmonize with the concrete agricultural building erected in 1910.
it is of like dimensions—60 x 150 feet—perfectly lighted, and of the most
improved con.struction. In it were shown 1,000 birds, with competition limited
to five Southern States.
This year patrons will find this handsome building completely equipped
with newest and best steel-wire coops. Special effort is being made to make
our poultry department one of the best in the whole country.
Eighteen acres of land has been added to the Fair Grounds this year, making
sixty-three and one-third acres within the stockade pi*oper, constituting one
of the finest and be.st Fair Grounds in the country. This large increase of
ground space was made necessary by the rapid increase of the exhibits and
attendance, and the Midway will be enlarged to the great comfort and con-venience
of the crowds.
Three modern, up-to-date Live Stock Buildings, each 60 x 150 feet, are
being built and will be ready for the Fair this fall. They will have every
modern convenience and comfort for the proper care and display of horses,
cattle, sheep and swine, thus meeting perhaps the greatest need of the Fair.
The main horse gate will be moved up the Hillsboro road to a point near
the south end of the old Exposition Building, and thus avoid the dangerous
street car line crossing at the old place of entrance.
We are making improvements just as fast as we can make the money.
We are trying hard to make each succeeding Fair more and more of a
factor in economic progress, and we invite everybody to come and study the
practical les.sons it teaches.
The Midway of 1911 was free from gambling and immoral shows. This
reform is herewith announced as permanent, with no backward step to be
permitted. And the record is of gain from concessions over 1911.
The abolishment of complimentary passes and half-rate tickets met with
not only practically universal approval, but also an increase in gate receipts.
This policy will of course be continued.
Separate entries by exhibitors reached over 5.000. exceeding the tremendous
record of 1911, and in addition 117 race horses were named.
Through the State Board of Agriculture the State Fair management is
enabled to announce a large increase in the premiums on tobacco. The Board
has contributed two hundred dollars in this department, and the North Caro-lina
Agricultural Society increases its money on tobacco to one hundred and
fifty dollars, making a total of three hundred and fifty dollars offered for
tobacco. The exhibits this year will be under the special charge of Col. Jno.
S. Cuningham and State Agronomist J. L. Burgess, and will be judged by a
tobacco expert.
IHiTRODVCTORY.
The Southern Railway, Seaboard Air Line and Noi-folk Southern will oper-ate
special trains, in addition to the regular trains, at popular prices and on
convenient schedules each day of the Fair.
In the Department of Horticulture an increase in the money prizes will be
noticed.
Superintendent Joyner, tlie Director of the Department of Education, having
determined to spare no efforts towai-d the gathering of exhibits at the Fair
that will be really representative of the educational progress of the State, has
issued his circular letter to the various county superintendents, urging that
they send the best exhibits available. In addition, the city schools will be
well represented.

A Letter From the Christian
Crusaders, Northfork, W. Va.
Northfork, W. Va., Dec. 31, 1912.
The Goose Grease Co.. Greensboro, N. C.
Gentlemen :—"VMiile out making missionary calls some days ago. we
visited a certain home where the baby was extremely low with pneu-monia,
with several doctors attending it. We asked the trained nurse
if she would give "Mother's Joy" a trial and found her very ready to
do so. We gave her a 50-cent jar and one-half of a 25-ceut jar. She
applied it as per directions with the happy result that two days later
the doctor pronounced the child free fi'om pneumonia. Many others have
been wonderfully benefited by its extra good qualities. We find that the
people would be just as free to pay for the Goose Grease as they would
be to receive it free. Without any labor, to speak of, we could sell a
great quantity of it to our friends among whom we are laboring, espe-cially
now as the whole community is in the grip of an epidemic of
colds. If you prefer we see a druggist, and get him interested, we will
be glad to do so if we can. If not, we might act as agents for you.
We find that if we can cure a man's child, it is easier for us to reach his
heart with the Gospel. We do not take much stock in patent medicines,
but in your remedies we have great confidence.
Yours faithfully,
REV. J. M. JENNINGS.

TREES THAT PRODUCE RESULTS
Two years ago we purchased a large tract of laud specially suited to
the production of apple trees. The extra nice one-year trees we dug and
shipped the past season attest to the wise selection of this particular
tract. We shipped a great many of these trees to various sections of the
State, to the entire satisfaction of our patrons, and expect to have
equally as fine trees for shipment this fall in one-year-olds. Will also
have a lot of extra nice two-year apple trees in the leading market sorts,
such as Bonum, Delicious, Stayman's Winesap, Yorlj Imperial, Arkansas
Mammoth Black, etc.
If you are. not acquainted with the varieties, write us for informa-tion.
We have given this matter a great deal of thought, having had
much experience, and have consulted leading orchardist, as well as our
State authorities on this subject.
Can give you a selection of varieties ripening right through the season,
one after another from early June till December and keepers through
the winter. There are winter varieties suited to all the different sec-tions
of our State. Orders placed now for fall delivery would insure
your securing the varieties desired. May we not book yours? Write
us and don't fail to ask questions. Catalog free.

Made in the South
The farmers of the South need a farm paper that deals with
the conditions in the South—not one that is made to interest the
farmers of Maine, New York, Iowa, and the rest of the United
States, but one that deals with Southern problems.
Made for You
The Progressive Farmer is made to cover conditions as they
are in the South. Yes, sir—made for you—and if you will read
and heed its teachings you will raise more cotton per acre, more
corn per acre, more and better live stock, and make a money-producing
factory out of your farm.
Made for Your Wife
The Progressive Farmer has the strongest, most practical
houshold department of any agricultural paper in the South.
Its many features make a special appeal to our women readers
and helps them as it does the men.
Made for Your Children
The Progressive Farmer has a regular department for the
farm boys. Each year a young people's special and an educa-tional
special. Each year an offer of over $1,000 in prizes for
our Corn Club Boys.
Sample copies free. Ten weeks trial subscription, 10 cents
;
six months, 55 cents. It comes every week—one entire year,
$1.00—only 2 cents a week.

As far as possible, it is desirable that horticultural exhibits be brought in,
set up, and entered by the growers. Where this is not possible, the committee
will be glad to rec-eive. place on exhibit, and enter for premiums all suitable
horticultural products sent in. All exhibits competing for premiums must be
grown in the State.
In sending in fruit for exhibition, select only those specimens that are per-fect
in form and color and free from all insect and fungous blemishes. Do
not shake or knock off the fruit from the tree, but pick each specimen by
hand, taking care not to pull the stem out. Wrap each fruit separately in
paper, and pack tirmly in box or barrel, taking every care to avoid bruising.
Label each variety and put in papers to keep varieties separate. Do not use
hay, fodder, excelsion or any other dusty material in packing. Nail up firmly
and direct to "State Fair, Department of Horticultui'e, Raleigh, N. C." Bar-rels
of apples to compete in class of commercial barrel pack must be faced

At the opening of the Fair, plates for the variety exhibits of finiit will be

A perfect plate of fruit should contain five specimens and no more (if pos-sible,
with stems attached) characteristic of the variety, of high color, of

blemishes. If additional specimens are sent in by growers, the committee

Introductory
It is \yith a pride that is pardonable that the managemeut of the Great
North Carolina State Fair points to its record of things achieved and suc-cesses
scored as the years roll around.
The official report of the State Fair of 1912 shows a condition of its affairs
that justifies any pride the people may feel in this honored and useful insti-tution.
Among permanent improvements in 1911. the Poultry Building was reported
fully paid for and easily the best of its kind on any Southern fair grounds.
Designed to harmonize with the concrete agricultural building erected in 1910.
it is of like dimensions—60 x 150 feet—perfectly lighted, and of the most
improved con.struction. In it were shown 1,000 birds, with competition limited
to five Southern States.
This year patrons will find this handsome building completely equipped
with newest and best steel-wire coops. Special effort is being made to make
our poultry department one of the best in the whole country.
Eighteen acres of land has been added to the Fair Grounds this year, making
sixty-three and one-third acres within the stockade pi*oper, constituting one
of the finest and be.st Fair Grounds in the country. This large increase of
ground space was made necessary by the rapid increase of the exhibits and
attendance, and the Midway will be enlarged to the great comfort and con-venience
of the crowds.
Three modern, up-to-date Live Stock Buildings, each 60 x 150 feet, are
being built and will be ready for the Fair this fall. They will have every
modern convenience and comfort for the proper care and display of horses,
cattle, sheep and swine, thus meeting perhaps the greatest need of the Fair.
The main horse gate will be moved up the Hillsboro road to a point near
the south end of the old Exposition Building, and thus avoid the dangerous
street car line crossing at the old place of entrance.
We are making improvements just as fast as we can make the money.
We are trying hard to make each succeeding Fair more and more of a
factor in economic progress, and we invite everybody to come and study the
practical les.sons it teaches.
The Midway of 1911 was free from gambling and immoral shows. This
reform is herewith announced as permanent, with no backward step to be
permitted. And the record is of gain from concessions over 1911.
The abolishment of complimentary passes and half-rate tickets met with
not only practically universal approval, but also an increase in gate receipts.
This policy will of course be continued.
Separate entries by exhibitors reached over 5.000. exceeding the tremendous
record of 1911, and in addition 117 race horses were named.
Through the State Board of Agriculture the State Fair management is
enabled to announce a large increase in the premiums on tobacco. The Board
has contributed two hundred dollars in this department, and the North Caro-lina
Agricultural Society increases its money on tobacco to one hundred and
fifty dollars, making a total of three hundred and fifty dollars offered for
tobacco. The exhibits this year will be under the special charge of Col. Jno.
S. Cuningham and State Agronomist J. L. Burgess, and will be judged by a
tobacco expert.
IHiTRODVCTORY.
The Southern Railway, Seaboard Air Line and Noi-folk Southern will oper-ate
special trains, in addition to the regular trains, at popular prices and on
convenient schedules each day of the Fair.
In the Department of Horticulture an increase in the money prizes will be
noticed.
Superintendent Joyner, tlie Director of the Department of Education, having
determined to spare no efforts towai-d the gathering of exhibits at the Fair
that will be really representative of the educational progress of the State, has
issued his circular letter to the various county superintendents, urging that
they send the best exhibits available. In addition, the city schools will be
well represented.

horticultural products sent in. All exhibits competing for premiums must be
grown in the State.
In sending in fruit for exhibition, select only those specimens that are per-fect

A perfect plate of fruit should contain five specimens and no more (if pos-sible,
with stems attached) characteristic of the variety, of high color, of
